Description

Add a tool to attach sub-processes to an instance of Visual Studio, so we can run vstest.console via wrapper and get it attached, or similarly run testhost, and get it automatically attached to VS.

This tool needs to be built as net472, because netcoreapp2.1 and netcoreapp3.1 don't support the used api. So the same executable is re-used for everything. This has the added benefit of not packing it into the nugets we create.

Adds VSTEST_RUNNER_DEBUG_ATTACHVS, VSTEST_HOST_DEBUG_ATTACHVS, VSTEST_DATACOLLECTOR_DEBUG_ATTACHVS environment variables, which take value 0, 1, and <number>.

0 disables attaching to VS and is the default, 1 enables it and a parent process of Visual Studio is looked up, or the first Visual Studio that started.

Any number larger than 1 is considered a PID of the process to be inspected, and same logic is used. The current process and all it's parents are checked, and if none of them is VS, then the first VS that started is used. You can use this to define exactly which VS should we attach to.

VSTEST_DEBUG_NOBP is also added to prevent stopping on breakpoints after attaching.

The AttachVS tool is located in 3 ways, by looking at VSTEST_DEBUG_ATTACHVS_PATH env variable, by searching PATH, and by walking up the directory tree, and looking for special path (this is to locate the tool when you start VS, without and additional env variables). Our build script also adds the correct path to PATH. This allows you to debug both stuff from artifacts, as well as arbitrary dotnet test run.

For general use outside of our repo, put AttachVS to your PATH, or specify VSTEST_DEBUG_ATTACHVS_PATH.

The tool can be observed using DebugView++, logs are written to Trace.

Our build script also adds the correct path to PATH.

Actually no. Build.cmd is generally used, so the build will run in a sub-process, and won't affect the current session. And to set it to user context we need admin, and I don't want to do that. So just add it to your PATH I guess?

Or you can run the ./scripts/build.ps1 directly and that sets that environment correctly.

not sure why, but lately pressing format in .csproj totally wrecks the file...

Why would the above try block throw anything ? Looks like we're only doing a string comparison in there and some tracing and we made sure to check process is not null first.

You are right. It's probably pointless now.
